The Ritherdon National Highways Roadside Electrical Cabinet (NHREC, previously known as the NH RB Cabinet) follows closely on the design of the traditional range of Ritherdon RB Cabinets. As standard, NHREC Cabinets have an IP56 rating and don’t have any louvre vents. The NHREC Cabinet is fitted with a three-point locking mechanism, operated with a National Highways Concentric ‘T’ key (key not included; Ritherdon do not supply the keys instead these must be obtained direct from National Highways).
The NHREC Cabinet is to be installed on its corresponding NHREC Plinth. The Cabinet comes fitted with a backboard and can be customised to fit requirements. Additional options include shelf kits, fixed 19-inch rack, heater kit, light kit, power distribution unit (6-way) and double 13A socket. See the options tab for more information on accessories available as well as National Highways part numbers for ordering.
The Ritherdon NHREC Cabinet Range is covered by testing performed according to the criteria specified by National Highways in MCE 2650, TR 1100, TR 2130 and TR 2180.
